Chapter 1108 Extra Story (Six)

Adonis narrowed his eyes and looked at Selina's unflinching determination.

She was blessed with a healthy, tanned skin. In spite of her illness, her face looked smooth, bereft of any pores. There was something vibrant about her. Her almond shaped eyes were fierce. Presently, they remained wide and unblinking.

Her nostrils had flared up in anger.

Like other girls, she wasn't born sensitive or delicate. Nothing could bring her down.

Even in sickness, her spirits were high. However, there was also a different kind of charm about her. Everything she did made her stand out. Adonis found her tough personality quite attractive even though he wouldn't admit it.

The two stared at each other.

One was up and the other was down.

Her eyes were measuring him whereas his eyes were scrutinizing her.

"Selina, I got news for you. Sam's son has gone to Uncle Steven with a proposal for you. He called me this morning and asked me to urge you to go back early."

Adonis couldn't look into her eyes as he uttered these works. Now he knew why she didn't want to go back to Yu Sea City.

It turned out she was trying to escape an engagement.

Like a deflated balloon, Selina lay on the bed again. "You want me to get married as soon as possible, don't you?"

"Yes. In fact, it doesn't even matter whether you want to get married or not. The bottom line is, once you do, someone will take care of you. My sister and I will be relieved of this duty."

Adonis looked at her indifferently and his voice was calm.

Biting her lips, Selina looked at him and tears blurred her vision. "You!" she shouted.

"Take the medicine and get better. Go back to the Yu Sea City. On the bright side, the An family will give you a lot of gifts."

Once again, he didn't have the strength to meet her eyes. Swiftly, Adonis turned around and was about to leave.

Before he disappeared from her sight, Selina jumped out of the bed. The quilt was messily thrown to the ground.

Adonis heard this but he just strode towards the door, not bothering to glance back.

However, Selina wouldn't let him go. She ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him.

It was quite intimate. If Adonis didn't know her, he would have assumed it was a way of showing love.

But he figured Selina didn't do it out of love. This was her stance when she wanted to provoke a fight!

'So…

is she going

to Sally.

Hearing this, Sally paused, and Adonis, who was earlier busy with his phone, also looked. They were extremely curious to know what it was.

Shana took out a box from her bag. She didn't know what was inside, but Cody was very specific, asking her to hand it to Sally personally.

Sally took it and opened it. Inside was a laptop.

Without showing any further interest in talking about it, Sally put it aside. "How's your brother doing?" she asked, sounding concerned.

Shana smiled and sighed. Her expression made it obvious that his life was quite distressing. "My brother's condition is still the same. My father has always been in poor health. The burden of the Qi family is on his shoulders. And the worst part is, I can't help him much."

Sadness crept onto Sally's heart. Quickly, she looked at Adonis and said, "Hey Adonis, if anything happens to Cody's company, please help him fix it."

"I will,"

Adonis replied. Even if his sister hadn't asked him, he would have done it. After all, both their families were good friends.

However, there was one thing that made him doubtful.

Cody was stubborn and arrogant. He didn't want others to look down on him or his ability to bring his family out of the misery. In the past, every time he offered help, Cody refused it.

And now, with everything that had happened, Adonis knew that Cody would be even more reluctant.

Fortunately, Cody was a capable man. In the beginning, he had difficulty sorting through the chaos, but now, he was getting better at it. He could manage the Qi Group without anyone's help.
